Yeah I don't know if he just bowled way quicker in the Shield that one season but he's looked Cummins/Hazlewood pace whenever I've watched him since.

Morris is a very poor fielder by Aus standards, but the selectors do love him.
in fact, from what I have heard the only person who loves him more than the selectors is Lance himself.

Yeah been a junk spell this
Legitimately one of the worst fielders to play for Australia in the last 20+ years.ashley bach

He was working into a decent spell at Manuka when he crocked his side. Though considering Cummins bowls mid-high 130s and Haze mid 130s I'd still put him as faster than them. He seems to need a few overs to hit his top pace, and I think he could try running in faster.
I'm not thrilled at the lack of really quick bowlers at the moment, though not usually needed for tests it's good to have a bowler who can bowl high 140s to call upon if needed. Meredith is the only one who can ATM and he's always injured.

Cummins can still crank it up when he wants to
Thing that I don’t like about Morris is that he’s a skidder and that’s generally not optimal in Australia
Johnson looks far more difficult to face for a number of reasons including the bounce

I'll let him know at the next branch meeting.

But Test cricket hasn't been this exciting in a long time and that's the most important aspect of the sport , teams competing overseas , fewer draws , great batting and bowling performances , huge upsets..I think the game is in good health

Johnson hasn't been that bad but bowling too much leg side has let him down somewhat.

Two of our more successful bowlers in Dennis Lillee and Ray Lindwall haven't exactly been tall (yes I know Lindwall was a long time ago), and I think Richardson could have been pretty handy without the injuries. If someone figures out how to take wickets here I think that's more important than if they're skiddy or not. All the Pakistan bowlers are skiddy (even Shaheen because of his low release point).
My bigger concern with Morris is that he doesn't move the ball and I think he needs to run in consistently quicker. The times he's only bowling mid-130s like in the BBL he has such a slow, unrhythmical run.

Abbott comes on, pressure comes off.
I really want this series to be end of him and Stoinis, but I fear that's not going to be the case.
